According to my notes from previous builds (and I'm not noticing any
changes as I try to rebuild the packages now), cairo does not require

my build of cairo. Pango wouldn't build (at least not without glib)
and at the time, I didn't pursue the issue any further since I didn't
require pango for anything important.
I'd suggest you read what glib provides to get a clue WHY is is a
requirement. "The GLib package contains a low-level libraries useful
for providing data structure handling for C, portability wrappers and
interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads,
dynamic loading and an object system." That's not the sort of stuff
that could be optional.
By that logic, Glib should be required for every package in existence.
Yet, plenty of packages in BLFS alone can certainly compile and run fine
without it.
